« on: March 05, 2025, 11:39:55 AM »This is because the sort of attitude we take to the youthful generation determines the kind of persons the will metamorphosize into. Children emulate what is said or done by the adult people they come across and who are close to them. So, any action and decision we take should be made wisely because they will determine the way of their lives and the rules they follow. It should be noted that the role model of the society, especially in such aspects as honesty, integrity and responsibility, should be a desirable one. Many cases of corruption are recurrent due to the lack of moral education that is a cycle that may go round and round indefinitely. From these aspects in our daily lives, we can effect gradual change, for bottom-up change, as we always learn that great change begins from small steps.Your actually right because inculcating the right mindset to the young generation coming up because children learn from what they see and hear this is the more reason that we don't need to do some certain things that are not morally sound and acceptable around your children because what you do around your children goes a lot ng way in shaping the characters of children that are growing up. Corruption is high in the country due to moral negligence that has been lacking in the country for a long period of time nowYou are right everything about moral life starts from the family, but the society can easily teach you more than your learning from your family, because some people do say "if you can't beat them join them". Children learn easily from what is happening around them. My family is not corrupt but some of the children mindset are corrupt due to people they mingle with. Some parents don't also have the time to take proper care of their children morally.
If you’re able to teach your children good ethics from your house it will help them navigate through society that is corrupt.
I have seen children that grew up in society that is known for some evil stuffs for example a community where the girls are know to be involved in prostitution can have some children who are disgusted by the act so it all depends on how well you train your children and also how much your child is ready not to be influenced by the society.
